While Apple is still the most valuable company in the world, its place as a leader in innovation may be shifting. Whether the company is rudderless because it no longer has Steve Jobs or if it’s a matter of other companies catching up, will 2013 see Apple’s fall to Earth?

With the NBA finals 2 games in (as a NYC based company, we swear we don’t have a preference on who wins the series, we definitely don’t want the Heat to lose REALLY badly…. we promise), we created an infogaphic that looks at the biggest upsets that have occurred in the history of the NBA.

So we’ve teamed up with our good friends over at Daily Infographic to create a monthly infographic submission contest.

Have a cool idea you would love to see brought to life in an infographic? Submit it through our contest form, and each month we’ll select our favorite one and create it. The person who submits the winning idea will also (if they want) be mentioned in the infographic itself as well as on our site and Daily Infographic’s site.

After receiving several hundred submissions to our infographic submission contest (in partnership with Daily Infographic), we narrowed down the selections to our 5 favorite ideas. We then had the awesome folks at SodaHead create a poll and have their community vote on which of the 5 was the best idea. With that, we present the winning idea, submitted by David L. Smith, CEO of Mediasmith out of San Francisco. His idea was to compare the Olympics of old versus the modern day games.

With the Olympics starting on Friday, this was a perfect timely idea, and a very fun infographic to build. Great idea David.

You can submit your ideas for consideration for next month’s contest (we’re running it every month) here: http://infographicworld.com/infographic-submission-contest/
